When Ollie’s parents noticed their confident young boy started to develop a speech stutter they started him in speech therapy right away.
This is the best start to life Ollie’s parents could give him but the reality is cost can become a burden for many families wanting the support of a speechie.
That’s why our government is making it easier for families. Come 1 March we’re increasing Medicare rebated speech pathology sessions from a total of 5 sessions, to 8 assessment and 20 treatment sessions. Because every kid should have the best start to life.
